416. By the 4th Table, find the Expansion of Air, with 27°.36, on Feet 423.67 Tenths.
Section 406.
First, with 27°, on 423.67, thus:
viz. on 400 | as 4000 = 262.4 | decimated | 26.24 |
20 | as 2000 = 131.2 | 1.312 | |
3 | as 3000 = 196.8 | .1968 | |
.6 | as 6000 = 393.6 | .03936 | |
.07 | as 7000 = 459.2 | .004592 | |
| ————— | |||
Expansion = | 27.692752 | ||
Section 407.
Second, with .36 on the same, thus:
on 400 | as 4000 = 349.9 | decimated | .3499 |
20 | as 2000 = 174.9 | .01749 | |
3 | as 3000 = 262.4 | .002624 | |
.6 | as 6000 = 524.8 | .0005248 | |
.07 | as 7000 = 612.3 | .00006123 | |
| ————— | |||
Expansion = | .37050003 | ||
Add the former | 27.692752 | ||
| ————— | |||
Height in Feet | 28.06325203 | ||
417. Which Height for Expansion of Air, with more than the Standard Heat, being added[133] to the Height, for Expansion of the Barometer, with the Standard-Heat, gives the true Height of the upper Barometer, at the given Heat.
| For Expansion of Air above Standard Heat, | |
Height in Feet | 28.0 |
| For Expansion of Barometer, | |
with Standard: Height in Feet | 423.6 |
——— | |
| 418. True Height of the upper Barometer | 451.6 |
| Lower Barometer 1 Foot above the Water | 1.0 |
Height of the Top of the Cross above the Gallery | 50.0 |
——— | |
| Height of the Top of the Cross above the Tyber | 502.6 |
| Height of the same, measured the same Day geometrically, was Feet | 502.9 |
End of the last Stage.
